Hi FF,Hi Cosors
You seem the right person to keep tabs on this question.
The EU is mandating in cabin monitoring in vehicles by 2022/2023.
That is great for new vehicles but I suspect at some point they will require it for existing vehicles so retrofitting could come into its own as a business model.
ZF seem to be ideally placed with its network of service centres to retrofit these systems and as you know have an arm already turning fossil fuel busses and emergency vehicles into electric.
They already do in cabin fatigue monitoring in trucks so what it would be useful to know is when and if they commence recruiting for fitting in cabin monitoring systems in passenger vehicles.

I hate waste so I love the retrofit conversion model that ZF have for buses and emergency vehicles. It also means the embedded energy is not being thrown away and doubled in the process of electrification of the world transport system.Hi FF,
I assume that there are no coincidences in life, only unpredictabilities. As luck would have it, I was yesterdy told by my boss to turn my hobby (BRN) into job.
We are looking at exactly what you describe from an unexpected point of view. These regulations have to be implemented in a comprehensible way, decisions of electronics have to be comprehensible. But that is not the point. The system must be protected and secure.
In short, I will probably be asked to stay on the ball in this matter in order to evaluate a new market field for my company. I'll stay on it, one way or another.
And I'm happy for ZF. I am an engineer at heart.
Best regards and sweet dreams, I should be in bed by now

That is exactly my thinking and my view of life. I love repairing - it gives me satisfaction and happiness - modular and embedded design. I think know what you mean and I have understood. Now I have to close my eyesI hate waste so I love the retrofit conversion model that ZF have for buses and emergency vehicles. It also means the embedded energy is not being thrown away and doubled in the process of electrification of the world transport system.

Hi @Rocket577
One Board, All Platforms: ZF Drives Vehicle Intelligence with ProAI Supercomputer
• New ZF ProAI advances the most flexible, scalable and powerful automotive-grade supercomputer on the market
• AI-capable high-performance computer suitable for all applications for automated driving Levels 2 to 5
• Several major orders with start of series production in 2024
• Cost-effective Automated Valet Parking solution to realize
serial production in 2022 on a COEM model
Shanghai (China). The intelligence of future vehicles will be controlled by a few extremely powerful central computers. They will run the computationally intensive software functions that control critical vehicle domains. These include automated driving, electric mobility, vehicle motion control and integrated safety. Thus, high- performance computers and intelligent software functions are the key enablers for the software-defined vehicles of the future and drive safe and smart mobility experience to contemporary consumers.
At Auto Shanghai 2021, ZF unveiled the next generation of its ZF ProAI. “It is currently the most flexible, scalable, and powerful automotive- grade supercomputer in the world,” emphasized Dr. Holger Klein, ZF Board Member for the Asia-Pacific region, at Auto Shanghai. Designed for the requirements of software-defined vehicles and their new electric/electronic architectures, this artificial intelligence (AI) capable high-performance computer can serve as domain, zone or central controller. It is suitable for any vehicle type and for all levels of automated or autonomous driving: from Level 2 to Level 5. ZF ProAI will go into serial production latest in 2024.
“Several significant orders for our high-performance computing platform confirm our vanguard position to drive vehicle intelligence,” said
Dr. Holger Klein. “Offering high computing power, cutting-edge software solutions, intelligent sensors, and smart actuators from a single

source, ZF creates new possibilities for data-based business models for next generation mobility.”
ZF ProAI – world’s most powerful automotive supercomputer
Smaller, more economical but also more powerful than ever before: The ZF ProAI has been upgraded in many aspects. Apart from better computational performance with up to 66 percent more teraOPS, it simultaneously consumes up to 70 percent less power (3 teraOPS per Watt on average).
Its AI-capabilities are optimized for deep learning processes, further enhancing its ability to deliver advanced safety features: the board offers a 360° GPU-driven fusion of all available sensor data, including environmental measurement data from radars, LiDARs, cameras and audio patterns. Additionally, it also saves on necessary installation space.
Even considering the available cooling options – passive cooling, air cooling and liquid cooling depending on the desired performance –, most ZF ProAI models will come in the same 24x14x5 cm standard housing. As an automotive-grade product, its high-tech interior is resilient and reliable under harsh conditions, and it also offers the latest safeguards against cyber threats.
The supercomputer’s modular set-up means it can be equipped with System-on-Chip (SoC) variants from different manufacturers to achieve the preferred customer solution. Likewise, it can operate ZF’s own software or that of other developers or third-party suppliers. Standardized connectors and the option to link more ZF ProAI units together make it flexible for use and installation in any type of vehicle.
ZF’s high-performance board offers the flexibility to achieve computing capability from 20 to 1,000 teraOPS. That is 1,000 trillion – or one quadrillion – computing operations per second. Adding the variety of available cooling options, OEMs now find a custom-fitted solution for all their vehicle platforms, software applications and E/E architectures –

through a single type of control unit. This increases efficiency and reduces costs.
ZF also provides a measurement data interface (MDI) for ProAI to forward the collected sensor data unaltered to a central storage system for development and testing purposes. This makes it much easier for developers to train artificial intelligence for autonomous driving.
Cost-effective Automated Valet Parking solution
ZF is currently developing the first valet parking system globally that enables driverless parking relying only on the vehicle’s sensor set and being independent of a pre-mapped parking garage infrastructure. At Auto Shanghai 2021, ZF demonstrated Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM) technology to the public that enables Centimeter-accurate localization and real-time map generation. The sensor set is mainly based on one front camera, one front radar, four surrounding cameras and twelve ultrasonics but scalable with more advanced sensors as well as connectivity.
“The entire system is developed in China and will have its debut at a Chinese car manufacturer at the end of 2022,” said Ms. Renee Wang, President of ZF China and Senior Vice President Operations for the Asia- Pacific region. “We believe that this infrastructure-independent automated valet parking system from ZF will be a cost-effective solution for many global OEMs.”
Leading Commercial Vehicle Assistance Systems
As a leader in commercial vehicle technologies, ZF will demonstrate its broad range of intelligent, efficient and automated driving solutions. ZF’s most advanced emergency braking system for commercial vehicles, OnGuardMAX, has its global launch at Auto Shanghai and its debut on Chinese roads. The technology can identify and – if necessary – react precisely to a broad range of moving and stationary objects, including vehicles and pedestrians. OnGuardMAX can support the driver reliably in a variety of dangerous driving situations while helping to effectively reduce the risk of accidents.

So good to have you and Diogonese on my two favourite stocksI just wanted to give a quick feedback. I have now spoken to my fellow student. Unfortunately, this is a dead end for our research. I have not been able to find out anything interesting for us.
He did develop the harvesters and is now a project manager, but he himself has nothing to do with the department that does smart farming. What I didn't know is that Fendt has been part of the US AGCO Group for a long time. I looked at the page and it looks rather conservative. So I think full spot on John Deere.
"John Deere is slowly becoming one of the world’s most important AI companies
...
Deere currently has plans to automate nearly everything on a farm that has a motor — if the company sells it, there’s a good chance they’re trying to turn it into an autonomous robot."
